We examined a single specimen of Culicoides collected near a cave in a forest area from Amazonas State, which has a similar wing pattern to C. reticulatus Lutz. It differ from this species and the other seven new species described here by the aspect of the third palpal segment, which is cylindrical, without pits, with scattered sensilla distributed on the segment, P.R. 3.0. These data led us to conclude that this specimen belong to a new species. However, due to the bad montage condition, the specimen don't offer accurate data to make a description and we think eventually describe it after collection of more specimens in this Amazon site. Specimen examined: 1 female , BRAZIL , Amazonas, Balbina, 08.V.1985 , CDC light trap, E Castellón & S Gomes cols. (ILMD).
